I remember I had heard about bronies, and me being just a weird person in general myself, and I really didn't think much of it. I had thought to myself that i'd never be part of the brony fandom cause I had seen the show before and I didn't like the way it looked, but I was thinking of the old shows. I saw some random pony pictures while browsing the internet and I thought to myself "this doesn't look anything like what I saw" and I made a sub-concious note of that. Later me and my friend were watching netflix and I saw MLP:FiM, and I thought "oh, hey, it's that show". So I turned to my friend and joking around and I was like hey we should watch this, I bet it'll be funny...I wasn't exactly wrong. He was like sure, ya know whatever. So I start the first episode and about halfway through I'm just thinking to myself while kinda glancing over to my friend every once in a while, "oh god, I actually like this. I hope he doesn't notice". After that I would secretly record and watch the episodes at night when everyone was asleep. Needless to say, 1: I was very nervous/cautious and 2: I lost allot of sleep. Since then I've made it apparent to all my friends that I am a brony, I've technically converted a friend to the brony-dom, and I've become much more open about it than I was. I mean, I'm not running down the halls yelling "I'm a brony" or anything, but I certainly don't try to hide it anymore. Anyway, that's the story of how I became a brony. Sorry, this turned out a lot longer than I intended it to be, and if you took the time to read this, I greatly appreciate it.
